It's not since Reddit that I've seen anyone engage in such masterful mental gymnastics to completely avoid getting the point. We have at least silver medal material right here.

Just because you don't get it doesn't mean I don't make sense.

No seriously dude. Go talk to some older gay people, particularly men. Try to make some minimal effort to understand why communities who have been beaten to shit by society want to own their language. It's gotta be something to have never been in that position.

I understand you. Here's what you don't understand: queer people are not a monolith. You do not represent all queer people, so stop acting like you do.

You do not represent all queer people, so stop acting like you do.

But it's ok when you do it?

Please, show me what I said that implies I do. I'll be here.

You literally just said it. You decreed this to be offensive. Do you think YOU represent all queer people? Why are you acting like you do?

So now you've devolved into name calling. That was a little sooner than I expected, but ok.

Are you afraid of the questions?

Do you think YOU represent all queer people?
